Silverstone FARA R1 (Mid-Tower ATX/Tempered Glass Side Panel/3x 120mm Fans Included/Entry-Level Showcase) Review
If you're looking for the cheapest tempered-glass ATX case that isn't a total gamble, the Silverstone FARA R1 is a reasonable answer.
It's an entry-level case, plain steel construction, USB-A only front I/O, but it includes three fans and a glass side panel at a price that undercuts most of the competition.
What You Get for the Price
Don't expect tool-less panels or premium cable channels here; the FARA R1 is built to a budget and it shows in the fit and finish. What it does deliver is three fans and real glass at roughly half the price of the cases above it.
Comparison to Alternatives
It's the budget alternative to the SilverStone SG13 in our catalog for anyone who wants a full ATX case rather than a mini-ITX box, and it undercuts the Antec P20C on price while giving up that case's USB-C front port.
